It has 20 territories,all of them are inscripted in latin,i will translate them (i used a portuguese-latin dictionary,i hope the latin is correct)

-ORIENTIS

-Gallaecia Septentrio: North Galicia
-Gallaecia: Galicia
-Lusitania: Lusitania
-Lusitania Orientis: East Lusitania
-Celtica Zephyrus: Southwestern Celtica
-Lusitania Austrlis: South Lusitania (another type of Lusitania)´

-CELTICA

-Celtica Medium: Central Celtica
-Celtica Semptentrio: North Celtica
-Celtica Australis: South Celtica
-Celtica Semptentrio Plus: Northmost Celtica
-Celtiberica Semptentrio: North Celtiberica (a mist of Celts and Iberians)
-Celtiberica Australis: South Celtiberia

-IBERIA

-Iberica Medium: Central Iberia
-Iberica Australis: Southern Iberia
-Iberica Ora: Shoreline (or whatever) Iberia
-Iberica Septentrio: North Iberia
-Iberica Inter Septentriones et Orientem: Norteast Iberia
-Iberica Australis: South Iberia
-Iberica Zephirus: Southwest Iberia

The Bonus for conquestin each region is 3 extra soldiers

I think it´s a bit small,so what is your opinions about this map

There already is an "Iberia" map in production...

I'm not sure how different this one is?!

It´s a modern Iberia map with modern cities of Portugal,Spain and Andorra.

But it´s a lot larger than mine.
Mine could call "Acient Iberia"

Yea, its easily different enough. Problem is-its tiny.

All of those continents are too hard to hold for only 3 men, it would make more tactical sense to ignore them and go head on with enimies, hoping for good dice.

Doodle earth works being small because it is spread out-Iberia is all in a blob so there are hundreds of attack routes from each terr.

also the continent names are hard to read and what the one in the top right is i dont know. (and the very bottom one for that matter)

So:
-more territories/continents
-impassables
-Proberbly a different font for now at least (make it arial untill you get gameplay sorted so we can read the terr names) also try not to do slanty writing for now
-get rid of the territory names behindthe continents (again, mabye only for now, you may be able to get them to work later on) Use a conventional key.

Anyway, good luck and a promicing start :D

Hmm,well i will divide more the map,with more territories (more ten),some mountains and more continentes (something Like: Celtica and Celtiberia and a bunch other more)

27 is closer to a good amount of territories (although there are certain magic numbers which apparently make the map work better but i'm not sure what they are.) What you need to do now is find more continents. didn't the carthaginians own part of spain at that time or are you earlier? if so, borders could make good immpassables (although spain has enenough natural features in itself.

I like thick borders, but those are probably too thick.


Also, you have at least four 4-way borders which you'll have to remove.
